Key mapping terminal emulation options
Character codes received from a keyboard can be converted to different
character codes before being sent to the host. This conversion, known as
key mapping, can be useful when you have different types of keyboards
that need to be mapped to the same set of character codes.
A key mapping consists of an input sequence of character codes and the
output sequence of codes to which they will be converted. Generally, you
would specify both the input and output sequences as single character
codes, although you can define up to 5 character codes for each. A
character code is entered as two hexadecimal digits. For example:
• To convert the ASCII character A to B, you would define the input and
output sequences as '41' and '42' respectively, which are the
hexadecimal representations of the ASCII characters.
• To convert a code of decimal 10 to 0, you would define the input and
output sequences as '0A' and '00', respectively.
Note that character codes are always two hexadecimal digits, which means
that leading zeroes must be provided.
A key mapping entry requires a range, specified by “keymaprange,” and at
least an input sequence, specified by “inseq.” The output sequence
(“outseq”) is optional. When removing a key mapping entry, only
“deletekeymaprange” is required.
